Y/Ns POV

The next morning, I woke up to the bright rays of sunlight beaming through the Common Room windows. Gracie was sleeping on the floor next to me, curled up in a ball.

"Good morning." A voice called from the chair next to me, it was Hermione, who was reading a book while curled up into the chair. She must have been waiting for me to wake up.

"Well good morning to you too, Mione." I rasped while sitting up and patting the spot next to me.

Hermione marked her spot in her book, and plopped herself into my lap, curling up into my side.

"You know, you are really cute when you sleep." Hermione said. "Like an overgrown cat."

"Oh?" I asked. "You like watching me when I sleep?"

"Well-I Uh- that's not what I-"

I stopped Hermione's stuttering by kissing her quickly, which ended up turning into a light make out session before we pulled away.

"I think you're really cute too." I said, pulling our foreheads together.

Hermione and I spent a good part of the morning cuddled together on the couch, stealing kisses every now and then. Eventually, we had to make our way down to breakfast at some point.

"Y/N?" Hermione asked as we stepped outside hand in hand. "How would you feel if we kept our relationship a secret for a little bit?"

"How come?" I asked curiously. I was a bit disappointed for sure, but Hermione had to have a good reason for it.

"I just think with everything that's happening this year, we don't need a lot of extra attention." Hermione said. "I can only imagine how Skeeter would be if she found out."

"That's alright." I sighed. I was a bit more disappointed now as I wanted people to know, but Hermione did have a good reason.

She must have sensed my disheartened tone, as she wrapped her arms around my neck before giving me a quick peck.

"I promise, it will only be for a little bit, then we can go public." She smirked. "Besides, I get to have you all to myself for a while."

"Well now that you mention it, it does sound kind of fun sneaking around." I smirked, wrapping her arms around her waist.

"Exactly." Hermione said while giving me another kiss. "Now let's go, we need to get breakfast."

A few minutes later, Hermione and I made it down to the Great Hall, where Ron, Harry, and ginny were sitting.

"Morning." Hermione smiled as she sat down next to me, grabbing my hand underneath the table.

"You two seem chipper this morning." Ron said with a mouth full of food.

"Chew with your mouth closed, Ronald." Hermione scolded. "And yes, last night was very pleasant."

Hermione rested her head on my shoulder as Harry widened his eyes.

"Did you two sha-"

As we ate, Daphne Greengrass entered the Great Hall with Tom, who was supporting her as she limped over to the Slytherin table.

She must be hurt.

I unraveled the newspaper, mainly to see what type of nonsense Skeeter happens to be spewing today.

Dumbledore's Giant Mistake

Albus Dumbledore, eccentric Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has never been afraid to make controversial and near dangerous decisions when it comes to appointing staff for the historic school. Only this September did he hire the jinx-happy, ex-Auror Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody to teach our young wizards and witches Defence Against the Dark Arts, a decision that caused many raised eyebrows at the Ministry, given "Professor" Moody's insane habit of hexing anybody or anything who dares to a sudden movement while anywhere near him. However, "Mad-Eye" Moody looks kind and responsible next to the part-human our dear Dumbledore has employed to teach Care of Magical Creatures.

Rebeus Hagrid, who has admitted to myself that he was expelled from Hogwarts in only his third year, has been employed in the position of game keeper at the school ever since, a job given to him purely from Dumbledore's "kind heart" has, somehow, managed to secure himself the job of Care of Magical Creatures Professor last year, over the heads of many better qualified candidates.

An alarmingly large and ferocious-looking man, Hagrid has been known to terrify the young and older students alike, which Dumbledore turns a blind eye.

"I was attacked by a Hippogriff, and my friend, Vincent Crabbe, got a bad bite from a Flobberworm" says Draco Malfoy, a fourth-year student. "We all hate Hagrid, but we're just too scared to say anything"

This, however, does nothing to stop Hagrids campaign of intimidation. Only last month, in a conversation with me, did he admit to breeding creatures he calls "Blast-Ended Skrewts" an animal that is a highly dangerous cross between manticores and fire crabs, and bringing them into lessons to interact with students. The creation of new breeds is usually a closely watched act by the Ministry, yet Hagrid seems to disregarded these rules all together.

"I was just having a bit of fun" he says before hastily changing the subject.

As is this wasn't enough, this Daily Prophet reporter had unearthed some huge new evidence that "Professor" Hagrid is not- as he has always claimed to be-  a pure blood wizard. He is not, in fact, pure human. His mother, we can exclusively reveal, is none other than the giantess Fridwulfa.

A bloodthirsty and brutal race, the giants brought themselves to the point of extinction by warring among themselves over the last century. The few giants who remained living were know to have join He Who Must Not Be Named and were responsible for some of the worse mass Muggle killings during his reign of terror.

If his antics in and out of his lessons are anything to go by, Fridwulfa's son appears to have inherited her brutal nature.

Also, bizarrely enough, Hagrid seems to have managed to form himself a very close friendship with the none other than the Boy Who Lived, the boy who brought about You-Know-Who's downfall-  therefore, driving Hagrids own mother into hiding along with the rest of You-Know-Who's supporters. It is unknown whether Harry Potter knows the unpleasant truth about his "friend", but Albus Dumbledore surely has a duty to ensure that young Mr Potter and his fellow students are warned about the dangers of associating with part-giants, especially irresponsible, menacing ones like Rubeus Hagrid.

"Wait, what?" Harry asked, "Hagrids a half giant?"

"No." I said sarcastically. "He just has good genetics."

"Shut up, Y/N."

"It doesn't matter." Hermione said. "I wonder how that horrible woman found out, Hagrid couldn't have possibly told her, or anyone for that matter."

"Why?" Harry asked once more. "What's the problem with giants?"

"Well, they're.....they're." Ginny tried to speak.

"They aren't the nicest beings in the world." Heather finished. "Lots of stereotypes with giants."

Hagrid was possibly the nicest man I've ever met, him being a half giant shouldn't change that.

"You don't think Hagrid would have told her?" Ron asked.

"Skeeters probably just mad he wouldn't give her loads of horrible information about the Triwizard champions." I said. "So this is her way of getting revenge."

"Not to mention." Ginny added. "She's not supposed to come back into school anymore, Hagrid said Dumbledore's banned her..."

"Maybe she's got an invisibility cloak." Harry suggested.

"She's from the press." Heather said. "Nothing's going to stop her."

"Good point." Harry said.

"You know what?" I stood up. "I'm going to talk to Hagrid myself."

"I'll come with you!" Hermione said quickly, jumping up from her seat. "I want to see how he's doing from the article."

"We'll all go." Harry said before Hermione pushed him back down.

"No!" She exclaimed. "I-I mean, maybe it's best if we go separately to see how he's doing, so we don't give him more stress then he has currently."

Ron shrugged. "Whatever floats your boat."

And with that, me and Hermione made our way out of the Great Hall.

Only to run into Laura Bennett, who was walking the opposite direction.

"Hi guys." She said shyly. "Is Ron in the Great Hall?"

"He is." Hermione said. "Are you going to talk to him later?"

"I'm ignoring him for now." Laura said. "I'm still angry with his behavior last night but I guess it was a rough night for a lot of us."

Not for me it wasn't.

"Well, I think that's smart." I said. "Hope you have a nice day."

"Likewise."

-

After retrieving some things from our dorm rooms, as well as sneaking into a few broom closets to kiss, Hermione and I set off towards Hagrids Hut hand in hand.

Nothing was interrupting us as we treaded through the bright colored snow, laughing and acting like complete idiots.

"Hermy-Oh-Ninny!"

I spoke way too soon.

Because suddenly, the Bulgarian egg head walked along our path to catch up to us.

"What are you doing?" I asked snidely. "Following us around now? That's a little obsessive egghead, I have to say."

Krum merely glared at me as he looked back at Hermione.

"I haff been looking for you." He beamed. "I vas vondering if you could join me for a valk?"

"Did you happen to forget everything that happened last night, Viktor?" She asked angrily. "I want absolutely nothing to do with you."

Krum frowned.

"That's exactly vat I vanted to talk to you abou-"

"I don't care." Hermione said. "You violated me! End of story! Goodbye Viktor."

"Listen here, you-" Krum said as he tried to reach for Hermione.

Quickly, I got myself in between both of them, shoving Krum to the ground before standing over him.

"Get out of here, egghead." I said. "Or else we'll have a repeat of what happened last time."

Krum got up and dusted himself off of snow, before storming back towards his ship.

"Bloody hell, that guys persistent." I chuckled.

"Let's get to Hagrids." Hermione said as she pulled me away.

As we made it to Hagrids Hut, the curtains appeared to be drawn. The loud barking of Fang was evident as we approached.

"Hagrid!" Hermione shouted. "It's me and Y/N!"

"Hagrid, don't listen to what that foul woman wrote about!" I followed.

The door opened, but instead of Hagrid, we had found ourselves face to face with Professor Dumbledore himself.

"Professor." Hermione gasped. "We just came to see Hagrid."

"I assumed much." He said pleasantly. "Why don't you come in?"

"Thank you, sir."

Hermione and I entered the cabin, where Fang took it upon himself to jump into my lap as we sat down. As big as he was, I didn't mind as I liked Fang.

A/N: We stan Fang in this house.

Hagrid was sitting across from us at his table, and he looked dreadful. His eyes were swollen, and his hair was all over the place, as if he hadn't kept it done in days.

"Hello, Hagrid." I said softly.

Hagrid looked up.

"Lo," he said quietly.

"Hagrid you can't possibly think anything that horrible woman writes is true." Hermione exclaimed, trying to help him out.

"Honestly." I followed. "Whoever believes that rubbish is just as stupid as Skeeter is."

Two large tears leaked out of Hagrid's black eyes and fell slowly into his beard.

"Living proof of what I've been telling you, Hagrid." Dumbledore said, not giving any notice to my insult of Skeeter. "I have shown you the letters from the countless parents who remember you from their own days here, telling me in no uncertain terms that if I sacked you, they would have something to say about it."

"Not all of 'em." Hagrid croaked. "Not all of 'em want me to stay."

"Really, Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time." Dumbledore said sternly. "Not a week has passed since I became headmaster of this school when I haven't had at least one owl complaining about the way I run it. But what should I do? Barricade myself in my study and refuse to talk to anybody?"

"Yeh—yeh're no half giant!" Hagrid exclaimed.

"I refuse to accept your resignation, Hagrid, and I expect you back at work on Monday." Dumbledore said, standing up as he was through with Hagrids self pity.

"Good day, Mr. L/N and Ms. Granger." He said kindly before scratching Fangs ear, and disappearing from the cabin.

Hagrid looked up as soon as Dumbledore left, his eyes bright red from the sobbing.

"Great man, Dumbledore.....great man."

"That he is, Hagrid." I said as I patted him on the back.

"Hagrid, you wouldn't happen to know how Rita Skeeter even found out about your condition, have you told anyone recently?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I tol' Olympe 'bout it at the ball."

I took a minute to ponder my next words, an attempt to not make Hagrid angry.

"And Madam Maxine..... you don't think that-"

"Codswallop!" Hagrid yelled, "She 'ould never!"

"Okay." Hermione interjected softly. "We're not making assumptions, we're just trying to help you, Hagrid."

Hagrid seemed to be pretty relaxed after that.

"Yeh know what I'd love, Y/N?" Hagrid asked me.

"What's that?"

"I'd love yeh ter win this tournament! Really, I really would. It'd show 'em all.....yeh don' have ter put others down ter be successful! Yeh don't have to be ashamed of what yeh are. I'd show 'em Dumbledore's the one who's got it rich', lettin anyone in as long as they can do magic. An' wouldn't it be nice ter stick it ter Krum fer wha' he did?"

"Would mean everything." I said angrily, the memory of the egghead in my head.

Hagrids miserable face turned into a wide smile. "Tha's my boy....you show 'em, Y/N, you show 'em. Beat 'em all."

Hermione grabbed ahold of my waist, resting her head against my shoulder as Hagrid rambled.

Which reminds me.

I still have to figure out the egg!

                                               -

Eventually, February rolled around, as did my attempt to figure out the egg. After receiving a tip from Cedric, Harry and I went to the prefects bathroom and stuck the egg underneath the water, where we listened to the clues that said we had to go underwater and retrieve something.

Hermione had been helping me loads on how I can breathe underwater for an hour. Which has also been loads of fun because every time we figured something out, she would give me a kiss.

I ended up talking to Mum about a transfiguration spell that I was learning about a few weeks prior. She was very reluctant to teach me, but after much persuasion, I learned it.

Thea and Sam were with us in the library as we brainstormed ways in which Harry could handle the task. He was actually reading for once.

"Potentially problematic? He asked as we gave him the rundown of how dangerous this was. "When was the last time any of you held your breathe for an hour?"

As we continued to study, Made-Eye walked into the library and went towards us. "Hate to break up this scholar session but Professor McGonagall would like to see you in her office."

We all stood in confusion as Moody featured for us to remain seated. "Not all of you, just Weasley and Granger."

Hermione and I looked at each other and turned to Moody.

"But sir, the second task is only hours away...."

"Exactly." Mad Eye said. "Presumably L/N and Potter are well prepared by now and could do with a good nights sleep."

"Can I at least talk to Hermione in private?" I asked Moody.

"Fine, but make it quick."

"Say no more."

I took Hermione's hand and pulled her away from the wandering eyes of the others to an area where I knew we were alone.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her deeply. She kissed me back just as hard as we sniffed in an alleyway. As we let go of each other to breathe, Hermione smirked.

"Someone's eager." She teased.

"You have no idea." I said before resting my forehead on hers. "I'm just a bit worried about what's going to happen tomorrow."

"You'll do great love." Hermione said, putting her hand over her mouth in shock.

This was the first time she's called me love.

"Y/N, I-I'm sorry, I."

I shut her up quickly by kissing her hard, after a few seconds, we rested our foreheads together once again.

"All good, Mione." I said. "I liked it."

Hermione giggled before bringing me in for another kiss.

                                              -

After seeing Hermione and Ron off to Mum's classroom, I went back to the library to study with Sam and Thea, Tom and Daphne even joined us for bit.

Eventually, we all fell asleep in the library, probably not the smartest idea as Madam Pince would surely be displeased. We were all exhausted however, and I didn't have a care over treading back to my dormitory.

Before going to sleep with the others, I took the crystal ball out of my backpack, still thinking about my visions.

The same vision I had in the graveyard came back as I put my hand on the clear, crystal globe. Instead this time, I could see who was present.

I was there, along with Harry and Cedric, along with four other men as well, all wearing Death Eater attire, and kneeling to one figure in particular.

As the figure came into view, it revealed itself to be a disgusting looking man who had no nose.

"Oh wonderful, the L/N boy is here as well." The man smirked sinisterly. "Would you four like to take turns?"

"With pleasure." One figure said as they stood up.

And with a flick of their wand, the figure yelled, "CRUCIO!" towards me and Harry.

And trust me when I say this, it burned.

Almost like a hot pain coursing through every bone in our bodies.

As we fell in pain, the figure laughed menacingly, continuing to put us through brutal torture.

With that, I pulled myself away from the crystal hall to see the others sleeping at our table.

Sighing, I put the crystal sphere inside of my bag.

I swear if I don't figure out what this vision could mean soon, that could spell trouble for the lot of us.

With that in mind, I drifted off to sleep.

                                                 -

"Y/N L/N must wake up." A voice called out.

"Ugh, just five more minutes." I groaned.

"Y/N L/N and Harry Potter must wake up." The voice repeated as I felt a slight poking.

"Didn't I just say five minutes." I repeated once more. Now I was starting to get irritated.

"Dobby must wake up Y/N L/N and Harry Potter." The voice continued.

Wait a minute.

"Dobby?" I asked, rubbing my eyes of exhaustion. "What are you doing here?"

"Y/N L/N and Harry Potter must hurry!" Dobby exclaimed. "The second task begins in ten minutes!"

"What?" I asked. "Dobby relax we're-"

But when I looked down at my watch, it read 9:20.

"Going to be late in 10 minutes....."

Dobby was right.

"Harry!" I exclaimed. "We have to wake up!"

"Hurry, Harry Potter and Y/N L/N are supposed to be at the lake with the other champions!"

"It's too late, Dobby." Harry said. "I don't even know what I'm doing, I can't do the task."

"But Harry Potter will do the task." Dobby shouted. "Dobby found a book that will help Harry Potter find his Wheezy-"

"My what?"

"And take his Wheezy back from the merpeople!"

"Dobby, you're not making any sense-"

"He probably means Ron!" I exclaimed after a moment of thought. "Wheezy means Weasley!"

"They have Ron?" Harry asked. "Who else would they have taken?"

"Hermione." I said suddenly. "They took Hermione and Ron and they are at the bottom of the lake."

"You must eat this sir." Dobby shoved a plant in front of Harry. "Dobby knows to give it to Harry Potter! Neville Longbottom has given some to Dobby!"

"What it do?" Harry asked.

"It will make Harry breathe underwater, sir!" Dobby said. "Will Y/N L/N need some Gillyweed too?"

"No thanks Dobby." I said while gathering my things. "I've got it covered."

"Are you sure this will work, Dobby?" Harry asked.

"Quite sure!" Dobby said. "Dobby heard Professor McGonagall in the staff room, talking about the next task."

I waved my wand and magically adjusted the swimsuit I was provided for the task, not that I would need it for most of the task anyway.

"Dobby is supposed to be in the kitchens sir." Dobby said. "Good luck, Harry Potter and Y/N L/N!"

"See you, Dobby!" We shouted as we all rushed to the Black Lake."

-

We arrived to the black lake with five minutes left to spare, Cedric and Fleur were the first people to greet us as we made it to the dock, but Krum was less then happy to see us arrive.

"Sorry to disappoint, Pumpkin head." I said as I glared at Krum.

"Where have you two been?" Percy Weasley shouted. "The task is about to start!"

What is he doing here?

"Oi! Shove a sock in it, Percy!" I shouted. "We're here aren't we?"

That shut him up pretty quickly.

"Now, now, Percy!" Bagman said. "Let the boys catch their breaths."

Dumbledore smiled at us, while Kakaroff glared at us much like Krum.

"Let's just get this over with." He sighed.

A mix of loud cheers and boos came from the stands, the jeers mostly coming from the Durmstrang and Slytherin side.

"Thank you, thank you." I quipped. "You all are far too kind."

"Calm down, mate." Harry snickered.

"You two know what you're going to do?" Bagman asked us as we nodded.

"Good." Bagman smiled before taking his spot at the judges table. "Good luck today, boys."

"Thank you, Mr. Bagman." Harry acknowledged.

"Now." He said while rubbing his hands together. "Let's begin! To your places!" He then put his wand towards his mouth.

"Our champions are ready for the second task!" He yelled. "Which will begin on my whistle! They will have exactly one hour to recover what has been taken from them. On the count of three. One, two, three!"

A/N: Y/N is next to Krum

He whistled as the others jumped into the water. I on the other hand, pulled out my wand and recited the spell Mum had given me.

"Turtur rursus!" I shouted as I jumped into the water.

As I dove into the lake, my arms began to turn into smooth, scaly fins. My legs had also morphed into fins of their own.

My head began to configure itself into another shape. I now had a large snout and my eyes were now at the sides of my large head.

And a shell had grown onto my back.

And I could now breathe freely underwater.

The spell had worked!

I temporarily transfigured myself into a sea turtle.

I swan up to the surface, waving into the air as the crowd roared.

I splashed back into the depths of the lake, beginning my search.

Mum warned me that the transformation will only last up to an hour, so I need to be quick about this.

As I continued to swim even deeper, I heard a voice call from the surface.

"The Beauxbatons Champion, Miss Delacour will be unable to continue." The voice said. "She will take no further part in this task."

That's too bad, I hope whoever her hostage is will still be able to make it up safely.

As I clapped down to the bottom of the ocean, I noticed five individuals tied in place, floating unconsciously.

Hermione.

Ron.

Cho Chang.

Gabrielle Delacour.

Antoinette Henry.

I swam towards Hermione, and using a non verbal motion, I casted. "Diffindo".

But suddenly, I was pushed away by another spell, and guess who casted it?

Viktor Krum.

Who looked like a large shark.

Why the hell is he still trying?

Krum shoved me aside and bit down harshly on one of my fins, before attempting to unwrap Hermione.

I shoved my body into him, casting him aside before I released Hermione.

Krum tried one last time to blow me back with another spell, but suddenly, another spell hit Krum blasting him towards some rocks.

Cedric came around, released Cho, gave me a fist bump and swam up towards the surface.

With Krum still blindsided by Cedric's spell, and my fin still gushing blood, i untied Hermione from her post and swam up quickly to the surface.

But as I continued to swim upwards, the transformation started to come undone, as my fins quickly morphed back into human legs and the shell on my back disappeared within seconds.

We emerged from the surface as the last bit of the transformation dissolved as I was now a human again.

"Y/N!" Hermione cried as she swam into my arms.

"It's okay, Mione." I said as I gasped for air. "I've got you."

We swam back to the boardwalk and as I helped Hermione up, Krum had emerged with Antoinette, who was swimming quickly towards the boardwalk.

As Krum swam up to the boardwalk, I kicked him square in the face, causing him to stumble back into the water.

"Oh my god, Viktor, I'm so sorry." I said in a fake manner. "It was an accident I swear."

After helping Antoinette upwards, I noticed the blood quickly spilling quickly across my arm.

"Oh my god!" Hermione cried as she pressed her towel onto the wound, leading me over to Madam Pomfrey.

"Mr. L/N!" She exclaimed as she healed my wound. "How did this happen?"

"A certain Bulgarian twat." I growled as Hermione walked over towards Krum, slapping him hard in the face before walking towards me.

"Wow." I whispered in her ear. "My girl's feisty."

Hermione blushed a heavy red before kissing my cheek.

"Only for you, love." She smirked.

While this was going on, Harry had emerged with Gabrielle as Fleur, Heather, Antoinette, and Nat came rushing over to check on her.

"You saved her!" Fleur said to him. "Even though she wasn't yours to save.......my little sister." She then kissed Harry all over his face as we walked over to him with towels in hand.

"Are you alright now?" Hermione asked as she handed Harry some towels. "You must be freezing! Personally, I think you both behaved admirably."

I kissed Hermione's temple as I threw Harry the towel.

"I don't think we did that great." I said.

Ladies and Gentlemen we have reached our decision! Merchieftainess Murcus has told us everything that happened at the bottom of the lake." Bagman yelled with his amplified voice. "and we have decided the award marks out of fifty for each champion as follows....."

"Fleur Delacour, though she demonstrated excellent use of the Bubble-Head Charm, was attacked by grindylows as she approached her goal, and failed to retrieve her hostage. We award her twenty-five points."

"I deserved zero." Fleur said sadly.

"Cedric Diggory, who also performed the Bubble-Head Charm, was the first to receive his hostage, though he returned one minute outside the time limit of one hour. We therefore award his forty-seven points."

Harry gasped in shock at the mention of Cedric's score. It was pretty impressive.

"Viktor Krum used an incomplete form of Transfiguration, which was nonetheless effective, and was the last to return with his hostage. However, he did brutally attack another champion without a motive. We award him thirty points."

Kakaroff looked proud of this for no reason and along with Krum began to clap proudly. Even thought he purposely hurt me.

What an arse.

"Y/N L/N was able to use the transfiguration spell, turtur rursus to successfully transform himself into a sea turtle to great effect and rescued his hostage. However, he was three minutes outside the time frame. We award him with a mark of forty-five points!"

Big deal, nobody could make it within an hour.

But still, forty five points is pretty impressive, and I'm now behind Cedric.

"As for Harry Potter, he used gillyweed to a great effect and rescued his champion, but he too, fell out of the time frame......However, the Merchieftainess informs us that Mr. Potter was first to reach the hostages, and the delay in his return was due to his determination to return all hostages to safety, not merely his own."

Hermione, Ron, and I looked to Harry as we continued to listen.

"Most of the judges." Bagman said as he glared at Kakaroff. "Feels that this shows moral fiber and merits full marks. This means we award Mr. Potter with forty-five points!"

Me and Harry were now tied for second!

Hermione and Ron cheered for us along with the others. She even snuck in a slight peck on my lips when nobody was looking.

Krum didn't look amused, but Fleur was congratulating us even with her performance.

"The third and final task will take place at dusk on the twenty fourth of June." Bagman shouted. "The champions will be notified of what is coming precisely one month beforehand. Thank you for your support of the champions!"

"I should buy Dobby a pair of socks for every day of the year!" Harry said with happiness.

"We should give Dobby plenty of socks after this." I followed.

3rd person POV

🚨 Mentions of physical abuse and sexual harassment ahead 🚨

A few days after the completion of the second task, Hermione sat in the library with her two friends, Leo Marcel and Selena Raywood. The three of them were having a nice study session a few days before a big transfiguration exam.

Sitting next to them, was a stack of old books that was towering over as they continued to work.

As they were busy going over the different connotations and movements of the different spells, a certain Bulgarian walked into the library.

Viktor Krum could never understand it. Why a beautiful girl like Hermione Granger would go for a  guy like Y/N L/N. Krum happened to be a famous Quidditch player, all the girl should be lining up for him.

Even if Hermione was still a child compared to him being an adult, he did not care.

And that was his problem.

"Oh bloody hell." Selena sighed as she watched the egghead enter the library.

"If I light his hair on fire for what he did to Y/N, do you think he'd notice I did it?" Leo asked, making the other girls giggle.

"Tempting, but I think we shouldn't get into any trouble." Hermione said. "Let's just go."

As the girls began to gather their things however, Krum made his way to their table.

"Hello, Hermy-oh-ninny." Krum greeted.

"It's Hermione, you illiterate twat." Selena spat.

"Hello Viktor." Hermione groaned. "We were just leaving."

She went to grab her bag, before Krum had raced over and beat her too it.

"Vy not stay and a chat." Krum said before glaring at the other two girls.

"Alone."

"Like hell she will, you bloody arsehole." Leo said. "Let's go Hermione."

"Excuse me, Viktor, we need to leave." Hermione said, trying to be polite.

But Krum instead stood in front of her.

"I need to ask you somefing." Krum stated. "Take a valk vith me."

At this point, Hermione was wishing that Leo just lit his hair on fire.

"No thanks." Hermione said. "I'm heading upstairs to see my friends. I do not want to keep them waiting."

"We've had an extremely long day, and we don't need it to be any longer talking with you." Selena quipped.

Hermione went to walk away before a hand grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" She cried. "Let me go!"

"Let her go!" Leo yelled angrily.

"God, you are so beautiful." Krum said seductively.

"Leave us alone you creep!" Selena cried, but Krum would not let go of Hermione.

Krum brought a spare hand to tuck a stray hair behind Hermione's ear. Where the hell was Madam Pince while this was going on.

"What are you doing?" Hermione asked angrily.

"You should be vith me and not L/N." Krum said forcefully as he closed his eyes and pushed his lips together.

As he moved closer and closer, krums grip on her cheek tightened.

Instead of pulling back, Hermione took her free hand and punched Krum at the side of his face, forcing him to fall sideways in pain.

"We need to go." Selena exclaimed.

"You stupid bitch!" Krum shouted, approaching her with a raised hand that swung down and smacked her harshly against the cheek.

Hermione fell to the floor in pain, tears leaking from her eyes as the others rushed to save her.

"What the hell is your problem?" Leo shouted angrily.

"Don't test me, bitch." Krum growled before picking up his wand, intending to target the other girls with a curse that would stop them from fighting back. But when he did so, they were long gone.

Hermione was sobbing as Leo and Selena hoisted her onto their shoulders.

"We need to go to the hospital wing." Selena said in panic.

"No." Hermione sobbed. "Take me to Y/N."

While reluctant, the two girls quickly made their way to the Gryffindor Common Room.

                                               -

The three burst into the Common Room shortly after, where the boys were watching the match with Tom, Kieran, and Thea.

All eyes fell on the sobbing girl as Y/N stopped what he was doing and rushed over to his crying girlfriend.

"What's wrong." Y/N asked, enveloping her in a tight hug. "What happened?"

Hermione cried into Y/Ns robes, shoving her face in the crook of his neck as she wrapped her arms around him. Y/N rubbed her back gently with the palm of his hand, before looking towards the two girls for clarification.

"We-we w-were in the library....a-and....."

5 minutes later

"Krum did this to you?" Y/N asked as Hermione sadly nodded.

Y/N arose from his seat angrily.

"I'm going to fucking kill him."

Y/N stormed out of the Common Room, his friends behind him as Hermione weakly called his name, trying to get him to return.

"Always knew he was a damn git." Kieran said.

"Let's go fuck him up." Thea said as Tom, Harry, and Ron nodded in agreement.

Y/N however said nothing, anger flowing through his mind over what his girlfriend had told him.

Since the day he arrived at Hogwarts, Krum had been persistent in his attempts to be with Hermione."

And at first Y/N tried to be civil, not make a big deal out of it.

But sexual harassment and abuse.

He messed up. Badly.

And now he was going to pay for it.

Y/N knew that everyone would be in the Great Hall having lunch at this hour, with the Durmstrangs included. He could expose Krum in front of the whole school for what he really was.

A pedophilic, abusive bastard.

And whatever happens after that, happens.

Y/N stormed towards the entrance of the Great Hall, with everyone behind him looking on in worry.

Y/N pushed the doors open with all his might, where one Bulgarian asshat was speaking with his friends.

"Oi! Krum!" He shouted angrily, making everyone turn towards him.

A/N: I'm back everyone! Life has really been kicking my ass lately and I'm sorry about the late update! However, as many of you know, I have made a schedule with my books!

Updates for Forever and Always will come every Sunday. This will be nice as it won't cause me any stress and I can complete my schoolwork as well.

With that being said, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I will see you all next Sunday with the new chapter, "Brawl in the Great Hall!"

Also, who do you think the four figures in the vision were? 👀 that will come next week!
